Stimuli-responsive command polymer surface for generation of protein gradients

Abstract: Mixed polyelectrolyte brushes with a composition gradient were used as a platform for fabrication of stimuli-responsive command surfaces to control the generation of concentration gradients of adsorbed protein molecules. Switching between homogeneously adsorbed protein layers and adsorbed layers with protein concentration gradients was achieved by changing the pH of protein aqueous solutions. Protein adsorption and the direction of the adsorption gradient were tuned and also turned off and on or reversed by tu… Show more

“…BSA) are negatively charged, and therefore a positive charged surface such as PEI modified MNP would favour protein adsorption. However, in addition to the electrostatic interaction which causes adsorption of protein on oppositely charged surfaces [9] , proteins have amphiphilic character which will cause the adsorption of protein onto similar charged surfaces [10] , which explain the interaction between BSA and negatively charged PMAA-MNP surface. The slower rate of aggregation of bare MNP indicated the there is also an interaction between BSA and surface of bare MNP, although the aggregation of bare MNP could not be fully prevented.…”

“…After the binding to these scaffolds, the tethered proteins must preserve their biological functions [76,[96][97][98]. The versatile structure, chemistry as well as tunable mechanical properties [99] of polymer brushes make these scaffolds very attractive candidates to bind and immobilize proteins.…”

“…3.20). The possibility of tuning and switching adhesion between stimuli-responsive materials and proteins and cells has been explored for the control of cell and protein adhesion [127], as well as exposing and masking potential biointerfaces and manipulation of cellular signals, protein interactions, and growth factors [128]. Moreover, precise control of the permeation of chemicals, nanoparticles, and ions through nanoporous membranes and 3D scaffolds offers a unique opportunity for control of assembly and growth process [129][130][131][132].…”
